Good easy riddance.

So limiting coffee or teas to every other day has been…

Easy.

I can say I wake up and crave my glass of water versus my ol’ cup of coffee that had previously haunted me for years.

It was pretty easy – I went cold turkey without it for a week then  I started drinking some here and there.

So right now, I can go days without coffee, and have it occasionally. I’m pretty happy about this. Typically I treat myself to a  good ol’ cup of Tims, But really starting June first  (my official “Vegan” date) I will have to take it black or bring almond milk with me ? Hmm.  or just never go back to Tims again …

Well anyways have a great day y’all

Peace.

 

GMV: Hardest step

So this is the second entry in my Girl meets vegan (and in later Girl meets vegan lifestyle meaning that I have successfully become vegan) This entry is a little on the worrisome side and the unsureness of my decision.

Coffee.

And

Dairy. (less of a concern / problem as compared to coffee hence why this blog will mostly address my coffee problems)

These two things have been in my life for years.

I grew up as a little girl occasionally getting tea and then steady at the age of 14/15 I would have a cup a day, then my late teens 17- 22 I would have more than cup  a day sometimes  a pot a day- I did included 22 there because I only started changing my habits in March and  I turned 22 in February so that is accounted for.  And going back to my 17 years I would have a pot a day – I didn’t like soda and coffee was relatively a cheap beverage, so it was and still is an addiction.

I plan on quitting coffee, maybe cold turkey, maybe substitute it with something else.

One thing is for sure I am ADDICTED to caffeine, the kind of massive head ache, and even sometimes vomiting if I don’t consume a cup of caffeine a day. Mind you as long as I have a cup a day of tea or coffee I’m good as gold.

I don’t want to be addicted to this. Maybe if coffee was a super food it would bother me, but it is not a super food and has been labeled as bad for you. Sometimes I won’t even consume other beverages like water or juice it was/is just coffee. Thirsty have a cup of coffee, preworkout beverage is coffee. (~~Mind you these are true and real examples of my self between 17 and 22, But I have started since Jan 2014 to cut down on coffee consumption and first thing in the am have a good big ol’ gulp of water, sometimes 1/4 a glass sometimes a cup of water~~)

So to conclude, I want to quit coffee and limit my milk intake or replace these two intakes with better healthier options that I’m not addicted to.

What are you addicted too ?

Peace

TGIF

Well,

I’m not sure really what to talk about.

I’ve been watching a bunch of videos on a vegan lifestyles, more specifically “high carb, low fat”

Also known as the Rawtill4, or the fruitarian diet (which is 75% fruit and the rest is veggies and some starches)

I’m really interested in it.

The reason behind this is because I like to eat – i love to eat. And this diet lets me eat a bunch of healthy calories.

But I have yet to make the change, I have been tho including more fruits and veggies in my diet.

A few things I’m going to have trouble quitting : COFFEE, cereal, meat- red meat- filet mignon.

But. I want to be healthy, I want to live a long and healthy life.

So give up 3 things I love for  more longevity ?

For a better health ?

Well clearly it’s a yes.

I’m just not sure how to go about it.

 

Anyways whenever I feel more sure about my choices I’ll update y’all.

Have you ever made lifestyle changes that have lasted, if so how ?

 

Peace.
